✨New Share - Mellow Mini Meets Christmas! 🎄
November 06
Hey friends, I am not against Ai, it’s great for writting and generating ideas, BUT, We don’t need Ai to modify our art to make it “look better.”
This community is for sharing our actual handmade projects. Ai takes away the human element, which is the entire purpose behind something being handmade.
So, this has been added to our Community Guidelines:
“Authentic Photos Only - No Ai
This is a place for us to celebrate real, handmade projects. Please post only genuine photos of your actual projects. Ai-altered or artificial mockups are not allowed”
I have noticed an increase in Ai-generated images of artwork in craft spaces and I want this to be a safe place away from all of that.
Thanks for reading,
Have a great weekend!
Love, Frances

I did two of the quicker projects today - the Cheerflip Folio and the Notepad Holder. This completes my first page of the list.
I didn't open the Cheerflip for photos since it's just photo spots.
And excuse the weird, oddly colored notepad. I didn't have one of the right size to use. 🤷🤦. My handwriting needs work but it's for me so I can deal with it.
I plan to fill the Cheerful with photos to send to my mom in Oregon.

Hello, it’s a little late, but here is my monochromatic mini album for the “MonOctober Challenge.” I chose green-and yes, it’s my favorite color!
Working with one color was more challenging than I expected, but seeing everything come together was so rewarding.

I tried the Mellow book and it was anything but mellow with me. I used kraft paper that was too thick. The pages are rubbing like crazy. I wanted to use the rest of this Oz paper, but didn't have enough to cover the entire pages and then mat pictures.
I snapped a few pictures. Wrapped it up and away it goes.
I shall try again with enough paper to cover the entire base!

Hi friends! ☀️✂️
I put together a complete checklist of all YBM album classes, each with their own checkbox. It can be a fun and easy way to track your progress and see all the projects you’ve completed! Grab the list right HERE 📄 ( of course, the list will grow as I add more classes, but I have left blank spaces for you to fill those in later on ) 😆
Enjoy! ✨
